AOS 2026 Meeting logo
Our 2026 meeting logo was designed by Bird Collective, an apparel and accessories brand dedicated to birds and conservation, featuring original artwork and thoughtfully designed products. The company partners with nonprofits to fund critical projects, share stories about birds and their ecosystems, and help build a more inclusive birding community. To date, Bird Collective has donated over $250,000 to conservation and advocacy groups. Learn more at www.birdcollective.com.
The AOS 2026 logo features a Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus), an American Woodcock (Scolopax minor), and a Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor)—species that reflect the avian diversity of Amherst, Massachusetts, host of the 2026 annual meeting.
